No, no.

Lord of the Rings: Elrond gives the ring to Sam. Sam takes 20 minutes to get to Mordor, destroy the ring, and get back in time to cook Second Breakfast. World saved, problem solved.

See, Sam didn't have Frodo's "Must do the opposite of whatever Aragorn tells me" syndrome.

"Frodo, you must not put on the ring. Ever."
*Frodo puts on the ring.*
"Frodo, whatever happens, DO NOT put on the ring in front of the Nasgul. They can see you and you'll get stabbed."
*Frodo puts on the ring in front of the Nasgul, gets stabbed.*
"Frodo, don't be an idiot and wander off by yourself into the woods while carrying the One Ring of Power."
*Already gone*

Granted, Pippin suffered from it too.
